Sri Lanka v Pakistan | 2nd Test | August 14-18, 2014 | Colombo | Day 5

[Red Devil]

Pakistan require another 144 runs with 3 wickets remaining

 

[thivaakar]

not an impossible target. With Junaid Khan in uncertainty, I think Pak has only 2 wickets.

Pakistan will not make 150

 

[Square Drive]

Any chance of rain?

waqar saying he didnt know Sarfraz is such good batsmen

 

[Madplayer]

waqar saying he didnt know Sarfraz is such good batsmen

lol what a coach. doesnt even know the potential of hus own palyers

 

[thivaakar]

Arnold to Herath : Have you ever dreamt of becoming the 3rd highest wicket taker for SL ? Because you spent most of your life with Murali on your face ?"

 

[hur rizvi]

Pakistan require another 144 runs with 3 wickets remaining

It is impossible Pakistan wont touch 200 even

 

[Shafi]

Guys Only ALLAH can help us!!!

 

[hur rizvi]

Guys Only ALLAH can help us!!!

Allah helps those who help themselves

 

[hur rizvi]

Wahab should hit out against fast bowlers, There is no other option

 

[Mrhandsome]

Prasad is such a loser. Bowling no ball bouncers.

 

[hur rizvi]

WTH Sarfraz taking singles 1st ball against Herath

 

[hur rizvi]

Update from Umar Farooq. He says Junaid will only bat if Pakistan have a chance of winning. If they are around 10-15 runs away, for example.

Fair enough

Mulk aur players k same halat... Na qaum apna acha chahti ha na hi cricket team

 

[thivaakar]

Prasad giving back Riaz some of his own medicine

 

[hur rizvi]

Mulk aur players k same halat... Na qaum apna acha chahti ha na hi cricket team

True

 

[thivaakar]

Prasad is such a loser. Bowling no ball bouncers.

you know that Wahab started it right ? Prasad is giving it back simple no need to whine

 

[hur rizvi]

Hypothetically i would say if we need 50 runs or under, Junaid should bat else he shouldnt

 

[DrSchultz]

you know that Wahab started it right ? Prasad is giving it back simple no need to whine

Only because Prasad gave Junaid a concussion.

[Justcrazy]

Poor batting here , Pakistan deserve to loose.

 

[Poshforever]

10% of the job done so far

 

[Mr Consistent]

runs

 

[Electron]

A good partnership developing.

 

[Justcrazy]

This was not a big chase , just required couple of top order batters to stay and get some runs.

 

[DrSchultz]

Prasad should know that Vicky would smack him out of the ground if he didn't have a match to save.

 

[Justcrazy]

A good partnership developing.

If batsmen cannot bat , bowlers cannot be blamed.

 

[Sakss]

Im happy at least Sarfraz is developing as a player. He has been U19 Skipper before so a possibility for the national team too

 

[Electron]

10% of the job done so far

LOL.. you have showed up like 6 years after joining Pakpassion.

 

[Mrhandsome]

Prasad started it against Juni btw i would have liked Prasad doing it against a proper batsman

 

[Mr Consistent]

fifty for sarfraz well played

 

[Sandeep]

Sarfraz reminds me of the old Pakistani street fighting wicket keepers!

Great people to have I should add..

 

[Electron]

Timely single taken. I am not watching the match, but score updates show Sarfaraz to be a player who knows how to bat with tail.

 

[Sandeep]

A Pakistani win here would mean respect. Please go for it brothers!

 

[Poshforever]

Have been reading for 6 years, just not posting

 

[Justcrazy]

Fifty for sarfaraz

 

[Asif321]

Sarfraz is 5th wicketkeeper in Test to score 50+ in all innings of test series big achievement

 

[DrSchultz]

Timely single taken. I am not watching the match, but score updates show Sarfaraz to be a player who knows how to bat with tail.

Scored a good hundred in the first innings.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sarfraz joins Clyde Walcott, Brad Haddin and Adam Gilchrist, who are the other wicketkeepers with four consecutive 50-plus scores. Andy Flower is ahead of them, on seven

 

[junaid.ahmed]

Wahab no need to take single on last or 2nd last ball

 

[Justcrazy]

I think Sarfaraz needs to bat at number 5 in test matches.

 

[Madplayer]

sarfaraz becomes the first Pakistani wk to score 4 fifties in a test series. he is now second on the all time list along with the gilly and few others. the most is by andy flower =7

 

[Sakss]

[Mrhandsome]

What if Wahab comes down to Herath and punches him to the face?

 

[steelo green]

Damn Wahab looks better against Herath than our so-called batsmen.

 

[Madplayer]

What if Wahab comes down to Herath and punches him to the face?

well that escalated quickly

 

[Justcrazy]

If Pakistan had 5 wickets in hand they could have won this

 

[blackanhyellow]

really impressed with wahab showing some batting talent. In hindsight should have picked him over talha lol

 

[Justcrazy]

Manzoor , Rehman should not play test cricket again

 

[Justcrazy]

Lack of runs from top order has hurt pakistan here.

 

[imshally81]

Sarfaraz Innings reminds me the moin khan innings against the same opposition...

 

[junaid.ahmed]

I dnt know what team management was thinking if you have only one batsman in form & scoring runs & you are sending him at #7, why Sir faraz been not sent at one down or sencond down.

 

[Electron]

Scored a good hundred in the first innings.

Looking good this guy. Deserves to a promotion to number 5 or 6.

 

[Mr Consistent]

150 up for pak

 

[thivaakar]

Prasad started it against Juni btw i would have liked Prasad doing it against a proper batsman

you gotta be kidding me. You didn't see Junaid bowling it to Prasad ? in first inning ?

 

[Saeed]

Pakistan will have to either bat quickly or Sarfraz must face majority of the balls. Else no chance.

 

[Mrhandsome]

You didnt see Prasad doing it in the first test?

 

[Mrhandsome]

Importance of tail end batting abilities cannot be stressed more.

 

[Mr Consistent]

 

[Saeed]

Sir Fraz 59 away from being the highest scorer in this series.

 

[steelo green]

That's how he goes? Wow...

 

[Madplayer]

what a bad shot. gone. and with him are gone the chances of Pakistan

 

[Saeed]

Well throws it away.

 

[Madplayer]

Sir Fraz 59 away from being the highest scorer in this series.

and away he will remain

 

[blackanhyellow]

w.e. well played.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Well Played Sarfaraz. Clearly Player of the Series !!!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Ajju The Last man In

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Aggression always comes with a bit of risk.

That shot was not needed, but when you play aggressively, there's always an element of risk.

Can't blame Sarfraz.

 

[Shafi]

Match finished!!! ALLAH Hafeez!!

 

[Mamoon]

Can't play pace or any delivery above his waist. Seems like the best Moin, but hopefully will prove to be a better keeper.

 

[thivaakar]

Sarfraz wth ?

 

[Poshforever]

20% there just no sarfraz

 

[Mr Consistent]

runs

 

[Saeed]

Aggression always comes with a bit of risk.

That shot was not needed, but when you play aggressively, there's always an element of risk.

Can't blame Sarfraz.

That is always an option of keeping the ball on ground.

 

[Saeed]

Sarfraz wth ?

You can't really blame. Pakistan's top order has been pathetic since sometime. Only misbah has been saving us from embarrassment, else this team would have been on par with NZ.

 

[SAfridi]

Come on Wahab

 

[Madplayer]

why did wahab take two

 

[Dr_Bassim]

That is always an option of keeping the ball on ground.

Yea, but I would have thought Herath would always produce at least one magical ball .. and I think he wanted the score to go as fast as possible toward victory target.

As I said, the shot was not really need, but can't fault him much either.
